New Toy

I have a new toy. Since I have been at home with Tiny, I have been doing some sewing. Unfortunately, my sewing machine couldn't quite keep up. Of course it had hung in there pretty well, I bought it 15 or so years ago in college. Keith decided to surprise me for Valentine's day with a spectacular new machine. I am still exploring all its features and thrilled with every new discovery. I have made two quilts that have already been gifted and as I have alluded to am already in process on a couple more.

“25 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

"...to be a parent is to live in the past-present-future all at once. It is to hug your children and be intensely aware of how much smaller they felt last year...even as you wonder how much bigger they will feel the next. It is to be a time-shifter, to marvel at the budding of their intellect, their verbal dexterity, their sense of humor...at the same time rewinding and fast-forwarding...to when they were younger, to when they'll be older. It is to experience longing for the here and now..." -Youngme Moon - Different
